Master of Education in Classroom Technology
How to Apply
Once a location for an off-campus site is chosen, usually an informational meeting for educators in surrounding areas is advertised and held. The meeting is simply informational and there is no obligation for those who attend. If you are unable to attend the informational meeting, you may contact Allison Goedde at agoedde@bgsu.edu or (419) 372-7394 for additional information, and you must contact her if you decide to apply. Click here to see currently scheduled informational meetings.
If you are interested in the full-time option for the program and desire an assistantship, apply by January to begin summer classes and obtain an assistantship for fall/spring.

1. Send a letter of interest to Allison Goedde via e-mail at agoedde@bgsu.edu or via postal mail at School of Teaching and Learning, 529 Education Building, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, OH 43403. In the letter include:
- Specification of the cohort to which you are applying, such as "On-Campus/Perrysburg Cohort, Summer, 2008" or "Sandusky Cohort, Fall 2008." Note whether you are interested in face-to-face or online coursework, and full or part-time.
- One to three paragraphs describing your experience with technology, and particularly technology in the classroom.
- One to three paragraphs describing what interests you about earning a master's degree in classroom technology. (Why are you applying for this program?)

Contact Information: The Graduate College, 120 McFall Center, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio 43403, Phone: (419) 372-2791. Web site: http://www.bgsu.edu/colleges/gradcol/
- You may apply online to the Graduate College at http://choose.bgsu.edu/apply/online/?graduate or request the printed form from the Graduate College.
Please use the online application form. In the event that you must apply via paper, send the paperwork to the Graduate College at the address noted above.
- When applying, be sure to indicate that you are requesting a program/degree from the College of Education and Human Development, and that you are requesting the Classroom Technology Program or the Computer Technology Endorsement Certificate.

Transcripts should be sent directly from each higher education instruction you have attended to the Graduate College.
